The final day of NZB’s 2025 Ready to Run Sale Breeze Ups saw a further 202 two-year-olds gallop down the home straight at Te Rapa Racecourse. Held over two consecutive days on the same turf track, Day Two of the Breeze Ups had a Soft 5 track rating, with an average time of 10.93. An early shower in the day was followed by strong winds of up to 7.4 m/s (26.7 km/h). Expert bloodstock agent Phill Cataldo, who has had a lot of success with Group One winners out of NZB’s Ready to Run Sale, was on course at Te Rapa for the Breeze Ups. “I’m trying to buy an athlete. Movement is everything in a racehorse in my opinion. “If they’ve got a bit of size and scope and they’re well conformed, a good temperament does help, but it’s all about movement for me.” NZB Managing Director Andrew Seabrook was delighted with the conditions over the past few days. “I’m pleased we moved the Breeze Ups back a week, that has enabled us to gallop these youngsters on a consistent turf surface across the two days, which is in fantastic order thanks to the Waikato Thoroughbred Racing team.” “The strong wind proved the most challenging factor this year, particularly on the second day. However, we do display the wind speed and direction for each lot, so buyers can take the blustery conditions into account when viewing the breeze up videos.” “We are delighted with the caliber of horse that’s been on display over the past two days. The quality we have seen is a credit to the expert preparers who present these two-year-olds to such a high standard.” “We can now look forward to getting them up to Karaka for the Sale in November.” Breeze Up Highlights 184 two-year-olds breezed up across the course of the first day, with an average time of 10.88 recorded, while on Day Two, 202 two-year-olds breezed up for an average time of 10.93. The overall average time across the two days combined is 10.91. Day One conditions were mostly fine with wind increasing in the evening up to 5.9 m/s (21.2 km/h). Day Two conditions were mostly windy, with gusts of up to 7.4 m/s (26.7 km/h) Lot 110, a Bivouac gelding, was the quickest overall, breezing up in 10.27 for Riversley Park on Day Two (Tuesday). Lot 371, a colt by Written Tycoon, and Lot 387, a gelding by Home Affairs, were the fastest on Day One (Monday), recording 10.36. Both on account of Prima Park. The official 200m Breeze Up time for each lot can be found on NZB’s website alongside the weather conditions, track conditions and wind speed experienced during each lot’s gallop. The Breeze Up footage will be available to view on NZB’s website by Friday 24 October, followed by the full program aired on Trackside in New Zealand and Racing.com Australia. View today’s Breeze Up times here. The 2025 edition of NZB’s Ready to Run Sale is set to take place on Wednesday 12 & Thursday 13 November at the Karaka Sales Centre. Buyers wishing to attend the 2025 Ready to Run Sale can enquire about accommodation options and travel assistance by emailing travel@nzb.co.nz.

For the riders, the centre of excellence has seen a huge overhaul that furthers the club’s commitment to jockey development. “Over the past five years, we’ve established a...View the full article -

The State of the economy has changed. People don't Bet on harness now. well the 2 year olds AREN"T the Top end horses. Any Owner or trainer can Pay up and start in these races for big money. in Victoria alas Emma Stewart nearly wins the Lot lol 😆🤣 Victoria Harness racing lost $25,000,000 last year 2024. They are trying to sustain the industry to all corners of the state which has about the same General population as NZ and about the same amount of people working in Horses. they don't want people losing their livelihood's. they (Vic Harness) have a fierce competitor that takes nearly ALL the gambling dollar in the Victoria Thoroughbred industry. a totally IMPossible Rival to beat. HRNZ won't beat the galloping industry either. The thinking of those in charge hasn't changed 🤔. At HRNZ nor Harness Vic. it's just not a great betting product. It's the Landscape Mr Galah . you need Benefactors to keep you going and racing. (Keen Participants) 😎 Alas the funding in Victoria has been cut Dramatically 😧 , Just as you have said here , and Predict will happen in NZ. yes indeed . you will have $4000 races like QLD in the future if you want to keep racing going probably. *** One of the Top races of the Calender was raced last Saturday night in Victoria . The time honoured Victoria Cup . And was Broadcast Live on National TV. (our one of only 2 nights that happens in Australia for exposure ) The winner KINGMAN got a Paltry $142,000 first prize . laughable for the tip top prize. BUT . Luckily they still have some big Prizes (like NZ does) for the 2 year olds (like on this thread) and 3 year olds to create the BEST racing and keep people interested. ( for example : Like Mr Stockman NZ and Mr Seymour QLD, and Mr Shannon in both QLD and NZ as is a legend supporting the sport 👍 ) -
Nothing wrong with seeing owners celebrate after any win! we need to see more of owners celebrating after any win on Trackside.
